According to a dealer, in the US, the F25 X3 is rated 3500 lb. That's probably because of the US trailer hitch classification system: since the X3 doesn't meet the class 3 requirements (up to 5000 lb), trailer hitches for the X3 will be in class 2 (up to 3500 lb).

It's the same thing with the E83. It's rated 2000 kg in Europe, but only 3500 lb in the US.

You loose 500 lb just because of the classification system.
